PROTEST AGAINST POLICE BRUTALITY IN MONTREAL - THERE ARE MANY KINDS OF BRUTALITY

Clashes between protesters and riot police are a regular feature of Montreal's anti-police brutality march.

Montreal's 18th annual march against police brutality takes place today at 3 p.m. at the intersection of Jean-Talon and Châteaubriand Streets.

The Collective Opposed to Police Brutality, which organizes the march to mark the International Day Against Police Brutality, says this year's march will highlight what it calls "social profiling" by Montreal police officers, or the targeting of those believed to be homeless and therefore "unwanted."

Organizers also pointed to two other separate incidents that saw police shoot and kill Mario Hamel and Alain Magloire after confronting them on the streets for aggressive behaviour. Both men had experienced homeless spells and suffered from mental health problems.

Evidence That Demands a Verdict - A Montreal Police officer helped Dawn McSweeney rob me. Since then, the Montreal Police have repeatedly refused to take any action against the thief and her accomplices or to make any effort to return everything she and her partners in crime stole from me and from my aged parents, my siblings and their children. These crimes destroyed my family and my health. Drained by my endless battle for justicre, I am fighting cancer and I am still fighting for justice.
